Wow, look at the liberals dance around the facts!

[XploitedbyAbortion]

To Jean: I totally agree with you. Pro-aborts typically pull out the rape/incest argument to justify killing the unborn. Rape/Incest represents about only 2% of all abortions. And pregnancy is rarely detrimental to a woman's life. Most abortions are for convenience. As a woman exploited by the abortion industry myself, I know why they are in business. They don't care about women. It's all about the money, honey! If abortion were not lucrative, it would not be legal!

Msnbc at th height of ignorance. How can you disagree on whether not a human being is a person.

[ladyEulaelie]

Personhood does not give us rights. Personhood is a phenomena that you only hear of when abortion is discussed. We are protected by HUMAN RIGHTS, not personhood. Personhood is objective and even dips into the metaphysical which can take a religious turn depending on who you talk to. I'm not defined by anyones religion. My rights are protected because I AM HUMAN. I can defend that while me being a person, can be debated. It naturally follows that a HUMAN fetus should have basic human rights.

[Creationcreed]

He can't debate on the human cell if he doesn't know what it is. The young girl was on point. What is in the womb is the most important thing, then you can decide what to do. If it's not a human being, there is no reason to bring up rape/incest/ or any excuses for an abortion, you just get an abortion. And it wouldn't be an agonizing decision.

@3:36 "If you got that kind of a law passed..." That kind of law HAS passed. It is called the law against murder -- the only anti abortion law that should exist. Children in the womb ARE PERSONS and ALL PERSONS are ENTITLED to equal protection of our laws.

@riverdreams1

HOW WOULD YOU IT WON'T BE TRUE IN HER CASE...I HAVE SEEN WOMEN'S LIVES DESTROYED AN UNWANTED PREGNANCY AND THE BORN CHILDREN SUFFER.

pregnancy can fuck up your mind and body for the rest of your life.

thelizlibrary org/liz/004

first of all, prove that "LIFE" begins at conception by giving me a scientific link proving it.

because the gametes are live, so how could "life" begins at conception?

dumbass, abortion is not murder and there is no child in the womb. children are born.

[FREEAMERICANOW69]

@v

U don't know what the fuck you are talking about, you want to RAPE THE WOMAN AGAIN BY FORCING HER TO KEEP HER RAPIST "BABY AGAINST HER WILL AND RIGHTS, AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW OF CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR WILL ON HER BODY/MIND AND WON'T BE THE ONE SUFFERING FROM IT.

PREGNANCY IS HARD ON WOMAN'S BODY/ MIND...especially, unwanted pregnancy.

dumbass, she doesn't have to give birth for there's to be any evidence of rape...dna is in every cell, bitch!

ADOPTION=/= BETTER, IF SHE WANTS AN ABORTION.

@violinista53

dumbass, a BORN slave isn't some unwanted fetus living inside a woman's body and using her body for it's own survival, when she has the will, civil and constitutional right to abort.

btw, abortion has never been illegal in american, ever and on-demand abortion is constitutional by the amendments that freed the slaves.

[FREEAMERICANOW69]

@v

i never said "disease" and a fetus is a parasite by definition, duh.

"An organism that lives in or with another organism, called the host, a type of association characterized by the parasite obtaining benefits from the host, such as food, and the host being injured as a result."

medical-dictionary thefreedictionary/parasite

parasitism is also natural, duh.

i know what procreation is, a woman has a civil/constitutional right not have inside her body &abort.

UR slavery fallacy is moot.

[violinista53]

@FREEAMERICANOW69 A pregnant woman does not have some kind of parasite or disease! Get real. Pregnancy is the natural and normal way in which we ensure the survival of our species. We've been doing it for a long time.

Slavery made one person inferior and the property of the other. Abortion does the same thing. Trying to restore the equality of mother and child does not constitute slavery.

[violinista53]

@Fawcks I don't tell anybody what they "have" to do. I suggest good reasons to do what they most likely already know is right. Abortion after rape perpetuates the act of violence against a woman: it turns the child that is equally hers into an enemy, and she destroys not only her child but the biggest evidence and indictment of his crime. Adoption is better, but the best justice IMO would be to raise that child to be the complete opposite of a violent criminal.
